18 different Galaxies in the Markarian's Chain

Hi Guys,

18 different galaxies in the heart of Markarian's Chain. The main ones are M84 and M86. Image was taken last week with 11 x 7 minutes expo at ISO 400 during the early hours.

Hi Res here:

Love it Eric!
The more fuzzies the better!
Is this a full frame or have you cropped it?
Got to give this area a go!
cheers

Great image Eric. I really like those shots with so many galaxies. Puts it all in perspective.

18? Make that at least 22... PGC40659, PGC40691 (both very close to M86), PGC 40592 and PGC40603 and a few more I'm not sure about...

Very impressive - I guess the limiting factor here is not what's in the image, but what our atlases can display...

Very nice Eric, that certainly is a great area of she sky, you have some fine detail in that shot, even a bit of colour in some of the galaxies, well done indeed.

Nice to capture so many bright galaxys in the one field.

good to see an image youve been quiet lately compared to the usual frenzy of imaging

cheers Alchemy

We seemed to have missed this one Eric. We've been out 3 nights in a row ... not much sleep ... and not used to having more than one object to process at a time

Your the expert at multi imaging. Don't know how you do it so regularly

This image of the galaxy field is really great. Lots of detail in each one. Still can't believe how much you get from your very light polluted site it's a credit to you
